Below is a very IMPORTANT statement from interims and will put big bucks in IMX current a/c before Xmas.Mark my words IMHO!!!!


We see North America as a large market with considerable potential for the
information systems IMS MAXIMS has developed for the UK NHS. Your company is a
partner in a consortium that has just commenced contract negotiations, as
preferred supplier, for a significant contact. This project could break new
ground in North America, and your company's products will play an important role
in delivering clinically focussed and geographically distributed applications as
part of a highly innovative initiative. This breakthrough will not only add to
our business, but also serves to demonstrate the underlying strength of our
product portfolio.



Sincerely
Kemorkid

[shortermer1] 02/10/2003 11:06

Nice couple of delayed buys this morning. An 80k that went thru frst thing and a 60k buy has just shown up.

Quite encouraging to say the least.

hi david...

if i did know anything compelling i would be buying a bucketload... no just reading up on their technology..i suspect they will be predominantly looking at the front end...easy usage of their PAS system...

they use relational database systems rather than object orientated.. which i find a little surprising.. but what seems tom matter most is front end nowadays...


ps.. good talking to someone here.. sure right .. there seems little or no interest here... the grwoth in the NHS.POLICE..is to look forward to...

[davidhel] 02/10/2003 10:30

safman - I held this for years (literally) and we've been here before. The contracts are there but will IMX win any? Do you know anything that's particularly compelling this time? The lack of interest on these BBs is a bit ominous...

[safman] 02/10/2003 08:06

moving very quick....up 8.5% already...

[safman] 02/10/2003 08:04

this is moving...

[safman] 01/10/2003 22:40

.don't forget dirs bought millions at 6p... last results not too impressive.. but there is scope for growth

[safman] 01/10/2003 17:03

upturn in NHS contracts will be a big booster for this company... the sector is huge.. and i think this is a first step in the right direction...

IMS MAXIMS PLC wins contract to upgrade Hospitals and Health Boards across
Ireland to Windows-based PAS

In a key initiative the Health Board Executive (HeBE) in Ireland has signed a
contract with IMS MAXIMS plc to upgrade their existing PAS (Patient
Administration System) to facilitate healthcare provision across Ireland in the
migration towards integrated electronic patient records. Owned by the
Department of Health & Children and used by 48 hospitals in the Midland and Mid
Western Health Boards plus the Eastern Regional Health Authority, the new PAS
functionality will include front-end Windows applications and an upgrade to
state-of-the-art relational database technology.

In Phase One the PAS will migrate onto Oracle from its current older file
structure plus new Bed Management and Discharge Management applications,
operating in Microsoft Windows, will be added. Approximately 100 management
reports will be redeveloped to run in the new environment, which will make it
much easier to meet any future information extraction and reporting needs.
Phase Two, which is planned as an immediate follow-on, will replace the existing
character-based Admission/Discharge/ Transfer (ADT) modules with Windows
functionality. This will make it possible to add a range of leading clinical
applications such as those developed by IMS in collaboration with numerous
hospitals across Ireland and the UK.

Denis Doherty, Director of HeBE, comments: "In the current situation, where
many demands are competing for scarce financial resources, I am delighted that
the modifications to the Irish PAS will provide an extremely cost effective way
forward for Irish Hospitals and Health Boards. The development will ensure we
have an excellent platform on which to base any future plans for integrated
systems that deliver improved patient care."

Brian Ennis, Managing Director of IMS MAXIMS plc adds: "I am very pleased to
have finalised this agreement. As a result of the work now underway, the Irish
PAS will migrate to the most current of technologies, including web capability.
This will ensure that user hospitals can easily add applications that deliver
hospital and community-wide Electronic Health Records (EHR). It will now be
possible to operate in a mixed environment, keeping older, character-based
terminals where necessary and adding advanced Windows-based or web-enabled
applications as appropriate."

Denis Doherty, Director of HeBE, concludes: "This imaginative project will
extend both the life and the functionality of our PAS. At the same time it will
eliminate the characteristics that have restricted our ability to add integrated
applications to support the evolving needs of a modern Health Service."

Why am i talking to myself?
Results out friday pm.Just talked to IMX new finance director S Casey

[kemorkid] 24/9/2003 00:50

When are IMX results out.

[cheading] 01/8/2003 14:34

Kemorkid

Have been scaling in to this for last 12 months, the days of 5.88p are gone, pity as more of a good thing. Four things I look for in a share: 1) Margin of safety (inc sunk costs prudently dealt with), 2) Capable honest management the sort you'd be happy if your daughter married, 3) Easy to use technology that you make once but sell often, 4) Undiscovered story, in a new market (no steel and cement for me).

IMX has all in abundance. IMHO.

cheers

Ditto bought a few of these at about 7.5p a while back on Techinvest's recommendation. Then they dropped them! Could have a problem with size - competing with Torex and Isoft which have both recovered substantially from lows. New Labour's much vaunted huge increase in NHS spending seems to have bogged down in bigger wages and the usual red tape - tier upon tier of unnecessary management! None of the suppliers of anything have seen a major increase.

I'm interested, but no idea what's going on at the moment.

[kemorkid] 03/7/2003 18:13

Something brewing???
Anyone out there interested in these?

[kemorkid] 20/6/2003 09:51

Tried to phone B Enniss but can'.t be disturbed meetings all day.

OK, what's going on here, briefly up now a 15% fall?

Found this story....

"The Black Country and Birmingham Electronic Records Development Project – known as ‘BlackberdR17;- was cancelled in April 2003. Run by the Birmingham and Black Country Strategic Health Authority, Blackberd will now make way for the National Programme for IT in the NHS.

The aim of Blackberd was to link electronic patient records in the 12 NHS trusts across the Strategic Health Authority. It is understood that the project was informed it would not be funded from national IT sources, because its procurement was being run outside the National Programme for IT. Without such funds, the project would most likely be too expensive. The National Programme’s time frame is also moving at a similar, if not faster, timeframe than that of the Blackberd project.

Purchasing had started in October 2002, with suppliers bidding to undertake Blackberd project activities. It is hoped that much of the project’s technical work will go forward with the National Programme for IT."

Can't quite make out if it's good or bad news. If IMX can get a piece of the bigger national project then its great, but they may not have enough scale to be taken seriously.

[dvda] 18/4/2003 00:53

Last few days have been interesting, though I've no idea what's happening (possibly nothing I guess). They were still in the bidding for that Blackberd contract last time I looked - maybe they've got themselves another contract and the news is startinging to leak out (or is that just wishfull thinking).

Anyone got a view on the 2 x 200k trades? Are they both buys or is someone just rolling over a position?
